Important Information
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide
customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available
to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private
data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain some inaccurate or
incomplete data. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is
either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD MOUNTING; SPECIAL
NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA: State law
prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on
their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Check your state and local
laws and ordinances for similar restrictions. Other Garmin dashboard or friction
mounting options should be used. Garmin does not take any responsibility for
any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding
this notice or as a result of any other state or local law or ordinance relating
to use of the unit. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota
Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)
The California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 requires the
recycling of certain electronics. For more information on the applicability to
this product, see www.erecycle.org.
